Robby Krieger

Per The Doors Guide website - a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s — THE DOORS":

"Robby Krieger plays a red 1964 Gibson SG Special with P-90 pickups on the first two Doors albums and for a bulk of the group's live shows from 1966-1970 (later with an added tremolo bar). Sadly, this legendary guitar was stolen and remains missing. I have the guitar's original serial number so anyone who believes they've found it can contact me for confirmation. Note: Robby sometimes incorrectly refers to this as a '64 Gibson Melody Maker."

Per The Doors Guide website - a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s — THE DOORS":

"According to an Elektra memo, Robby Krieger purchased a red 1967 Gibson SG Special in November 1967. It was likely acquired for use in the studio as session photos from early '68 show him with this guitar. He also played it during at least one set at the Fillmore East in March 1968."

According to TheDoorsGuide.com, a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s, "Robby Krieger started playing a red 1968 Gibson SG Standard in March 1968 and used it throughout the '68 summer tour."

This is verified by Gibson from this article.

You weren't big on pedal effects in those days, were you?

"Not very much. I had a Maestro Fuzztone, which I used, but other than that… let me think... Oh, I did use a 12-string [a Gibson ES-335] on a couple of songs, like Love Her Madly and Texas Radio."

Tommy Thayer (Kiss) lets Robby Krieger test his new signature guitar

This is one of the first guitar that Robby ever got – his first one was a cheap knock-off.

His father bought it in Madrid during a business trip for $200, and for those first couple of years it was all that Robby played and practiced on

This is perhaps the most collectable guitar in Robby’s collection. He bought it just couple of years back persuaded by his friend Al Jackson.

The guitar is rarely played live.

This guitar was custom-built for Robby. He plays it very often live in the recent years on “Spanish Caravan”, perhaps to take the stress off the 1963 Ramirez – which is dear to him for obvious reasons
